So, the chances of Escaping from a Grab for those types of creatures against same level opponents is typically > 70% (a mathematical flaw in the game system, the creature escaping gets a +5 for Skill Training that the defense does not have).The only creatures worth grabbing are ones not Skill Trained in Acrobatics or Athletics like most PC Wizards.</blockquote>
